Built to address prime healthcare problems such as physician shortage, steep costs, and delayed access to treatment, TeleThrive is a software platform that instantly connects patients to physicians. Consultations can take place wherever and whenever doctors and patients have access to a telephone.
The capabilities of TeleThrive are vast. Patients create voice records of their medical history, which their consulting doctors can then access, while doctors are prompted to record key points of their advice for patients to reference. Billing is automated upon completion of the call. Additionally, TeleThrive matches patients and doctors based on shared parameters, such as location, language preference, school or provider affiliation, as well as on the particular medical malady.
Flexible, affordable, and user-friendly, TeleThrive accommodates people’s health needs beyond the 9-5 weekday hours of most medical institutions. It finds applications in a variety of organizations. The platform can help delivery networks to establish virtual health centers, cut costs and provide access to a superior healthcare network for health plans, give employees and clients more healthcare options, and drive traffic to online communities.
Telehealth industry leaders have already spotted TeleThrive’s potential. Selected as one of ten innovative new companies, TeleThrive demonstrated its direct-to-consumer package RingADoc at the 2010 Health 2.0 Conference and continues to attract new press.
